I've always wondered: If Superboy put Mon-El in the Pocket's Universe's Phantom Zone, how were the LSH able to reach into the main universe's Phantom Zone and remove him?
Simple ... The Phantom Zone doesn't fall under the same rules as the rest of the universe or universe's .. its not multi-dimensional in the sense that there is a different phantom zone for each pocket or alternate universe ... there is only 1 phamtom zone which is shared by all dimensions.
I am not saying it's wrong. Infact I am saying it's right. What I am saying is that the rules in the Phantom Zone are almost Completely unknown. I thing that is mentioned in the superman comics is that belief shapes the zone, which if it was believed that Mon-el was in the Phantom Zone then that belief alone could put him there.
Though I agree with jesse, I was just putting fourth another possibility.
I never really read the Superman series except when John Byrne re-launched it, so you may be right. The only Superman related series I continually read was Supergirl.
And as for supergirl, Yeah, that was a good one. To bad it ended. Why Supergirl hasn't joined any group I don't know, after all the comic was canned but she didn't die or retire.
If the comic wasn't cancelled, the writer of it said he'd form "Blonde Justice", consisting of both Supergirls (though Linda's codename would be changed to Superwoman) and Power Girl.
I don't see why the comicbook being canceled would prevent that project from taking place. It could make a good mini series at least ... though they would have to being Linda back first ... and contrary to popular belief ... I don't think that Fallen Angel has anything to Linda.
While I might tend to agree since no mention of them has really been extensively made in the DC books ... that particular crossover was published and controlled by DC .. so they would have the right to bring in the Kara charactor into thier continuity if they chose to do so.
